Certification covers HCLTech’s Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Management System; supporting its AI Force platform, software engineering, IT operations and business process services

NOIDA, India, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HCLTech (NSE: HCLTECH) (BSE: HCLTECH), a leading global technology company, today announced that it has achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification. The certification affirms HCLTech’s readiness to support enterprises in scaling AI adoption with strong governance, risk management and operational rigor.

Issued by Schellman Compliance, LLC, an accredited certification body recognized by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and a member of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), the certification validates HCLTech’s enterprise-wide framework for the responsible development, deployment and governance of AI within the defined scope of its Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS).

The certification covers HCLTech’s AIMS across AI lifecycle processes, including support for AI-enabled services and platforms such as the flagship AI Force platform, software engineering, IT operations and business process services. This enables HCLTech to support enterprises not only to adopt AI, but govern it consistently across systems, functions and geographies. The AIMS framework aligns with evolving global regulatory requirements, including the EU AI Act.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is the world’s first international standard for AI management systems, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It establishes a comprehensive framework for managing AI across the full system lifecycle, covering risk management, transparency, fairness, accountability and continuous improvement.

“ISO 42001 certification takes on a different level of significance at an organization the size and complexity of HCLTech,” said Avani Desai, Chief Executive Officer of Schellman. “This isn’t simply about documenting policies; it’s about embedding Responsible AI governance into how the business operates every day. As organizations move from AI experimentation to enterprise adoption, the ability to demonstrate disciplined governance will become a key differentiator. HCLTech has set a strong example of what that looks like.”

“Achieving ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification reflects HCLTech’s commitment to building and delivering AI responsibly at scale,” said Vijay Guntur, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Ecosystems, HCLTech. “As enterprises accelerate their AI journeys, they are looking for partners who can combine innovation with rigor and trust. This certification provides independent assurance that AI is governed responsibly through our certified AI Management System across our delivery model and reinforces our ability to support clients in deploying AI with confidence.”

DragonGC Adds Precise Workflows for Securities Disclosure

Published

on

By

New workflows guide securities lawyers through high-stakes disclosure tasks with fully traceable outputs.

GREENWICH, Conn., July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DragonGC, the purpose-built AI platform for securities disclosure and compliance, today announced the release of a major platform update that delivers precise, task-specific workflows designed for the demands of public company legal work. Built on the foundation of the Company’s proprietary knowledge graph of authoritative SEC sources and its AI-powered research engine, DragonGC combines those capabilities into guided workflows that produce fully cited, source-traceable outputs for the most critical and time-sensitive tasks for public company disclosure.

“Securities lawyers have two non-negotiable requirements: accuracy and accountability. DragonGC was built around both. Every output traces directly to the underlying source material, giving legal teams a clear record of how conclusions were reached,” said Neil McCarthy, DragonGC’s Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer.

From Source Integrity and Research to Workflow Execution

Knowledge Graph: DragonGC began with a foundational belief that AI for securities law could only be trusted if it drew exclusively from authoritative, verified sources. The platform was built around a proprietary knowledge graph of SEC filings, regulatory guidance, and disclosure precedent, a walled garden designed to reduce the risk of irrelevant or unreliable inputs.

AI Research Layer: DragonGC introduced an AI overlay that allowed legal professionals to query that knowledge base conversationally, asking complex, multi-part questions and receiving substantive, sourced answers. The result was a research experience that matched the depth of the underlying source library.

Precise Workflows: DragonGC unifies both layers into purpose-built workflows for the most common and critical tasks in public company legal work. Users are guided from question to output with every result fully cited, every source accessible, and every step defensible.

Built for the Way Securities Lawyers Actually Work

Corporate governance and securities law operate under unforgiving standards. Disclosure errors carry real legal and reputational consequences, and the volume of source material required to stay current, accurate, and compliant has grown steadily more demanding. DragonGC addresses that reality directly.

The platform’s new workflow layer guides users through common, high-stakes tasks from start to finish, drawing simultaneously on DragonGC’s walled garden of authoritative SEC sources and its AI research layer to generate fully traceable outputs. Every answer links back to the original regulatory source.

DragonGC launches with a suite of workflows purpose-built for the most demanding tasks in public company disclosure including the following:

Form Compliance Checks: Runs structured compliance reviews across the full range of periodic and current reporting forms, including 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, and proxy statements, flagging gaps and inconsistencies against applicable SEC requirements.

Risk Factor Benchmarking: Analyzes how peer companies disclose risk factors across their SEC filings, giving legal teams an authoritative, sourced benchmark to pressure-test their own disclosure language against market practice.

Accounting Topic Comment Letter Trends: Analyzes SEC Staff comment letter trends for a selected ASC topic and benchmarks a draft filing against observed Staff concerns, enabling companies to anticipate and address potential comments before they are raised.

IPO Workflows: Supports the drafting of critical S-1 sections, including the Business Section and MD&A, drawing on the full depth of the DragonGC knowledge graph to accelerate one of the most labor-intensive processes in securities law.

Purpose-Built for In-House and Outside Counsel

DragonGC is designed for the full range of professionals who support public company disclosure: in-house securities legal teams at corporate issuers and the outside counsel at law firms who advise them. DragonGC has curated a database of over 8 million tagged datapoints, regulatory frameworks, public company data and SEC filings. The platform is SOC 2 compliant, retains no client data, and does not use client inputs to train models.

Availability

DragonGC is available now. Legal teams and law firms can request a platform demonstration here: https://dragongc.com/signup
